Hello from not so beautiful and not so sunny Orlando…the land of Mickey and Minnie Mouse and way too many other theme parks…and conventions. OK, enough with the crankiness.

Another day, another airplane. Well, at least that’s how I feel today. Yesterday, I was in New Orleans at the App-Solutely Enterprise event and today I am on my way to Las Vegas for the Interop show. Don’t these trade groups know it’s not nice to make us have to pick one versus the other, [...]

I love being a road warrior. While it can be a drag at times to have to explain to people that my office is seat 8C on United Airlines, it does keep me in check with my better half. I may, however, have taken it to the extreme last week. After an 18 hour trip [...]

Now that we are oh so close to the end of 2011, I thought it might be “fun” to continue reminiscing on the world of enterprise mobility in 2011 by looking back at last year’s market predictions from the Enterprise Mobility Foundation.
